FROG BLANKET

This is a giant granny square baby blanket I started to use up some green yarn I wasn't going to use, and then realised that I liked the yarns accompanying them too much to waste.

I've always had a problem with granny squares ending up funny shapes, and I think it's to do with my cast on - chain on? The first bit. Either way, this is getting frogged and turned into a scrap scarf.

PORTAL GLOVES

I swear, the gesture was unintentional. Probably.

These gloves were my first attempt to actually knit with some of my handspun yarn. I used no pattern, the yarn is probably too soft and underspun to withstand any kind of wearing, and by this point I’m probably going to have to frog and reknit it to get gauge and sizing.

STRING JUMPER

I’ve posted about this before. I have no idea what I was thinking, but by gosh I’m going to follow it through.

I think the sizing is a little small now, but I can crochet a border around the side seams to give it another couple of inches. Probably.

SLEEP SACK

I have… no idea what I was thinking. I mean, I do - I was thinking about the cool-looking mermaid tail blankets that were around at the time and how I’d really love one of those but without the tail. I was also thinking that I have a lot of this green yarn that needs using up, and also probably that I was stranded at Mum’s house with nothing else to work on.

This yarn is scratchy, fiddly, and non-machine washable. Why on earth would I make a blanket out of this?

This is probably getting frogged. I may experiment with felting at some point, because I honestly have no idea what to do with the massive cones of scratchy 3-ply yarn I bought from a yard sale because they were £1 each.

Note to self: bargains are only bargains if you actually use the thing.

FUCK TUMNUS

Heh. Um… it’s a long story?

I made this in honour of ATCB Gaming’s LP of City: Skylines to commemorate one of the most beautiful moments of friendship between Matt The Bastard and Coreline.
